Conclusions? Global fossil fuel consumption trends data are available –Require historical emission factors for carbonatious aerosols Satellite data provide spatial/seasonal pattern –Limited trends information over cloud-free areas –No aerosol speciation –No info on vertical distribution Visibility data provide 30-40-year record –Surface concentration over continental areas only –No speciation –Semi quantitative
